Hacking It is now possible to downgrade to 9.2

[gnmmarechal]

So I tried on N3DSU 10.3 to 9.2U and I boot up to a black screen which I'm thinking is a software lock as its not bricked. Hence it doesn't show the boot rom error. I tried doing it without the sd card (to avoid themehax) still to no avail. Recovery also won't work. Please help

Hum....... rip n3ds :/

I still think all those black screens have in common the menuhax somehow.
Not sure techincally, but the theme must be stucking the boot, even without SD card.
I recommend to got all common persons that had this weird black screen, and find out if everyone was using menuhax, and what was the trigger condition, button combination, or was automatic at boot.

It does not looks like bricks.

They don't. I think they are software bricks. I want to fix this ;( I think I'm the only one who bricked it though

In this (totally off-topic) thread, is the main core of peoplo testing the downgrade. Lots of black screens there

Many related to menuhax.

Is it supposed to say "Failed to get CIA file info!"?

So I've got 9.9 O3DS with ironhax. Should I do this yes or no?

Does this need the update .cias?

 

[jeandiegoconi]

Can you further explain for N3DS, even if you don't recommend it? I don't plan on trying just curious.

as i say in older messages i did on other way

Did this with the correct 9.2 file for N3DS JPN and it downgraded to 9.1.

dg works,
here's my setup
currently in o3ds 9.2u, updated to 10.3u
9.2 (full) on sd
starter zip on sd
rxtools on sd
used browserhax to get hb
launched sysupdater (but kept failing, even with 3ds-ftp)
used browserhax to get hb again
installed themehax (config 2)
themehax / menuhax loads on freshboot,
launched 3ds-ftp,
opened sysupdater
checked version, i'm now on 9.2u again
reinstalled emunand, (slotkey etc etc)
profit!

I did think about the problem being menuhax, after all, that is what is loaded on boot, and the payloads would be wrong after the downgrade. However, I still do not understand what my error was. I will wait for now.

downgrade succesful my 2DS 10.3.0-28E -> 9.2.0-20E

I am such a newbie, and so interested in this on my 3ds xl. As far as I understood it cannot be done to the one that I have but there is a thing that I couldnt get.

How do you do this? Can someone make a tutorial step by step and as simple as it can be that even a fool can pull it off? Please?

 

[OmerMe]

Downgrade seems to have worked but entering system settings gets me stuck at the splash screen, any ideas?

It'd be useful, if you'd explain what happened a little bit more specific.

Also, your setup could be helpful, which files you used (only names, no direct files)

A good short tutorial.

Can confirm works on N3DS, downgraded to 9.2.0-20U, took ~50 restarts.
